"Lower property tax and increase land transfer tax and this problem would be solved. There would be no incentive for people to sell there land to developers."

How about just letting people do what they want with their land? You and the Democrats are the only ones that see a problem that doesn't exist.

People who want to keep their land, cannot. They can't afford to pay the taxes. If you have a farm that's been in your family for generations, and the suburban sprawl moves out around it, your land values go up and your taxes go up, and you have to sell to the developers. That's not "letting people do what they want with their land". There is a problem, you are blind.
